Code:
Beta2 change log:
complete rework of recovery.fstab.
rework of recovery source
CWM now fully up to date with latest version
and more
drhonk and I are proud to bring to you CWM3 for the SGS4G.
Now, before I post this, We are not responsible for any bricks.
Issues:
/system mounts, however it doesn't unmount to be able to format during a restore.
What works:
FULL ROM FLASHING!!! Backup, Advanced Restore of Data and Cache, Flashing zips (mods, boot animations, kernels, modems, etc), Error reporting and everything else but full restore due to the system issue.
How to get to recovery: Power Menu Mod, Quick Boot App, adb reboot recovery, 3 button salute.
What you will need to do:
Use Root Explorer, Android Commander, Droid Explorer or what ever else is out there to replace the recovery binary in /system/bin with the one attached. This will allow you to flash the update.zip from stock recovery.
After the file is replaced reboot the phone.
Put the update.zip on your external SD, boot into recovery and choose the 2nd Option to flash update.zip from SD.
This will boot you into CWM.
Biggest change from 2.5.1.2 to 3.x:
your normal zips will not work on this CWM or any future CWM for that matter. CWM3 has been updated to only allow edify updater-scripts. You will need to modify all of your update-scripts to be in the edify format. I will need to find a link on how to do this and post it in this thread.
More updates to follow. This is just to hold everyone over for now. Again, please do not complain that you can not restore or ( flash a full rom (untested)). This is a known issue, and is actively being worked on. drhonk and I worked on this all day and are tired.

I will not request this to be added to RM until it is FINAL. Please do not attempt to contact Koush to have it added; I will just ask him to remove it. This is only to keep you guys tied over for now.
BIG BIG THANK YOUR to drhonk for keeping my ass working on this. LOL
Also Big thanks to Koush for helping us troubleshoot things.
Thanks to both of you for your hard work and effort!

Awesome job on getting this up and running guys. I'm having problems getting it to work. I have followed your instructions to the "T" and I get the signature verification failed error. I replaced the the recovery.bin file in the /system/bin and rebooted and then placed the update.zip on the root of the SD card and booted into recovery and when I try to use the update zip I get that error.

Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

Hi,
This is my first ever Samsung phone, and let me just say. It very different from HTC.
-infact this isnt even my phone, its my mom's. And its laggy like crazy.
Could you guys explain some things to me,
- voodoo
- "red" cwm
- modems (im guessing radios)
- ODIN
Or even better if you guys can just walk me through on how to flash this one certain rom link
I know i sound like a noob, and i agree that i am in terms of Samsung phones.
THe phone is already rooted, and its running Stock + Root
So could you guys please help me, T_Mobile wont, but i know the helpful XDA community will.
Thanks Sooo Much in Advance!!!

Follow the link above to get cwm final. Make sure you push the files to the correct spot as mentioned in the post. After that just download icbinb and flash through cwm. Before your flash make sure your mounts are like so
Unmount cache
Mount data
Mount sdcard
Unmount system
This is how the mounts should look before you flash and before rebooting after the flash. Hope this helps ya and good luck

With cwm final (orange cwm) there is no voodoo. But once you install the Bali kernel cwm will turn red and give you another option which is voodoo. Know to dissable voodoo you just need to navigate to voodoo once in cwm(red) and make sure it is dissabled. Youll see what everyone is talking about once you get a rom with Bali kernel or just flash Bali kernel with any froyo ROM.

I appreciate all your help.
Ive tried this multiple times with multiple sd cards. Not making a difference. I will look into to this issue still.
Till then im just stuck on stock........
I dont really like Samsung anymore. This was soo much easier on HTC phones, no ODIN, no Voodoo, none of that stuff.......
im going to odin one more time, see if that helps
EDIT: Seems like it worked didnt give me any issues this time!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
im going to hunt down all of your posts and "Thank" them all
But first let me let it reboot
Glad you got it. And just to give you the heads up it is rumored that kd1 has a bad system partition and has caused issues with other user myself included. I personally cant say that it is or if its just ghost in the machines but somtimes it ok and somtimes not. So I would recommend grabing the kc1 stock for Odin if you havent already.
Also if you plan on sticking with the sgs4g I would recommend checking out the sgs4g Bible in the developers section of our forum. I appreciate the thanks and happy modding

You could also search google for 'xda kernel repack'.
Unpack the initramfs, update the su and Superuser.apk, and repack the kernel.
Tada, no more su problems, and when it gets out of date, you can fix it yourself

We have clockworkmod running on the Samsung Galaxy SG4 for some time now, though I don't know if anything like that is available for the Exhibit 4G.
The signature verification error is normal via standard 3E recovery. I know it can be toggled on/off within CWM though I'm not sure if/how with standard recovery.
Got it fixed.
ok. I got it fixed. Here are the steps:
1) Download and install the SuperUser Fixer. Force it to run.
2) Update to the newest SuperUser.
3) In the settings, update the SU binary from there.
Done and fixed.
Thanks.
Friends -
I take no credit for this. I found this boot animation in some other XDA forum and tested this with this Raver's ROM.
It runs smooth.
This is CWM flashable. Remember to take backup of your existing bootanimation.zip from /system/media location.
A BIG thank you to Raver and Krylon/ Honk for this ROM and Kernel.
***** I have tested this on Valhalla Final ROM as well. ******

Step 1: Using root explorer or similar app, go to /system/media
Step 2: Copy the existing bootanimation.zip file to /sdcard
Step 3: download the file in OP to your /sdcard
Step 4: reboot to recovery
Step 5: Install zip from sdcard and flash it
Step 6: reboot
Step 7 (optional): If you didnt like this new bootanimation and want the old bootanimation (pink unicorn) back ...using rootexplorer copy the bootanimation.zip (from Step2) to /system/media

Just use Super Manager. Works like a charm. Be sure to enable the root function in the settings.

Glad you got it. Thats how we learn, soft bricking our phones over and over
As long as we have this forum, we have lots of helpful people to get us out of it.
I take it that I should always use my computer when downloading things for my phone... My brother has a vibrant and he always just downloads his roms straight to his phone.. Anyway I've realized that when I place the file on my phone from the computer my result's have always been great.. Thanks again... One question though what us dalvik cache.. And are we supposed to clear it every once in a while

I make a habit to clear it every time I flash something new. After you flash, you can wipe it in the Advanced menu in CWM. When your phone reboots, be sure to not touch ANYTHING and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to let it rebuild. If you don't, your phone will lag.
If you didn't give sufficient time for your phone to rebuild the dalvik cache, you can always go into the Advanced menu in CWM and wipe it again. You'll just have to wait the 10-15 minutes again.

Download zip and put on the root of your SD card and then flash thru cwm.

Well I just figured out how to deodex and bit the bullet to make a completely stock FC09 ROM for those on MTD that do not want to Odin just to try it out. Other than sticking Shadowkernel and busybox in, this is completely stock, Sprint ID, Signal Optimizer, everything but Asphalt and HD Game Demos. I will make a seperate zip if requested for those.
Video by my friend Qbking77 to demonstrate using this ROM to root:

Thanks to Bbelos for shadowkernel 3.0

Thanks to CASHVILLEBOS for odining to BML just to test this for me!
Wipe everything once and flash in MTD version in CWM from a MTD ROM. Choose TW Launcher upon boot.
To update modem go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578313
Thanks Zanderman112 for that.
You can also Odin in the modem of your choice from here:

If you want to add Necrosan's Hotspot Hack (thanks Necrosan) here it is:

On MTD mount system in CWM before flashing.
For those that wish to restore the full Sprint Boot animation the thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951184
Remember to mount system if you are on MTD before flashing each file.
And to return to Sprint if your USB port is broken it is helpful to have the stock kernel numbers in the About Phone section so Marcusant whipped up a stock MTD kernel just for this:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32800014/StockFC09kernel.zip
So find him and thank him if it helped you.
This can be used if you cannot odin in stock to go to Sprint. Remember to delete Superuser. And you can install the stock recovery from the file in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=rerfs
Superuser is tough to getr rid of. Muyoso found that it is actually reinstalling itself upon reboot after deletion. Thanks to him for pointing it out in his efforts to get back to stock. He tore through the scripts deleting all instances of su. PM Muyoso if you need help with this.

Quick question. Where can i find complete tutorials on making roms and kernels? I want to learn how to. That way i post on my site.

Please disregard this question everyone.

Ready to try this one in a sec downloading now.
Question though is there anything broken in this at all (besides tthe skipping keyboard but shadow kernel fixes that) since they fixed the gps? About to put this on my cousins epic

Aw, hell... I'm game. Let's see what its got under the hood.
Nice thing about stock ROMS is you never feel bad about flashing a great theme on top... like a nice KennyG blue...
Good job kenny! Ill have a mirror up in a sec

I haven't tried FC09 yet so this will definitely be flashed, thanks again kenny!

It's actually all ready for a theme and a boot ani. I didn't expect to see the flashing ANDROID when booting. I had trouble connecting to my wifi router but that POS always gives me issues. It is all stock files so if anything is broken it is Samsung's fault...LOL.
Now I just need help from a DEV to learn where everything is that needs editing, like how to insert the hotspot hack, remove battery full popup, and all the other goodies we love.
To silence battery full beep for now use root explorer or ES File explorer and push this to system\media\audio\ui
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32800014/TW_Battery_caution.ogg
You may have to delete a live wallpaper or something because my system directory was full.

Alright! Time for an FC09 Peoples Rom! MTD, v6, full theme selections (red theme, blue theme, neon green, neon orange), all fixes (gps, connection optimizer etc) no bloatware.
Wondering if you could find Sensei and use his as a base...???
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Both Sensei, Toadlife and Hoffman are tied up with life right now. I will PM all 3 to see if one of them can just point me in the right direction.

LOL...important safety tip...don't flash an EL30 theme on this! Stuck at Samsung. Reflash brought everything back including data which is pretty cool.
